How to Build a Robot - The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited )

Step 5The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited ) - The motor mount.

The BeetleBot v2 ( Revisited ) - The motor mount.
Here we are going to build a motor mount instead of glueing the motors to the battery holder.

It will look more professional.

Take your metal or aluminium plate and cut it to make a rectangle 1 x 3 inch. It does not really need to be exactly 1 x 3 inch.

If you don't have access to aluminium you can glue the motors to the battery holder.

You can also salvage metal from a old computer, VCR, etc.
In a lot of electronic equipement they have metal plates that are used to reduce parasite noise by grounding these plates to the main ground of the equipement. These plates are easy to cut with metal scissor.
